Holy Father, I spoke of Your compassion and generosity, of Your forgiveness and love. I spoke of Your dislike for despots and those who use their gift of life and intelligence, which You so generously bestowed upon them, to enslave others, the poor and less fortunate. I spoke of Your desire for the villagers to rise against tyranny and injustice. I spoke of Your commandments;

“Thou shalt not Kill, Thou shalt not Steal,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt love thy neighbour,
Thou shalt honor thy father and mother.”

It’s a crushing pain to witness children suffering in the hands of or by the actions of those who know better. The pain and cruelty they inflict on women, Your perfect and angelic creation, that You entrust and made responsible to procreate and preserve humanity, their own mother and sisters are appalling and unforgivable.

A wise child of Yours once said it this way; “In this life, you have to perfect on human relationships in order to really love God. You practice loving God by loving another human and by given unconditional love,” which again, reflects the failure of the church in promoting peace and love in the village.

It’s a glory to see the advancements Your children have made in knowledge, education, art, sports, science, technology, etc., as the result of Your gift of beautiful minds. The glory of Your creation is so evident by the likes of Magnus Carlson, a young man who can play chess with so many at the same time proving the power of your creation. Or doctors who work day and night to save Your beloved children. Or by the likes of the 16-year-old Gabby Douglas who won the gold medal in the London Olympics, proves that the beautiful color of her skin or her angelic face with a smile a mile wide is just the icing on the cake of Your creation.⁽¹⁾

JESUS:

Or, Your other caring children, who work hard to make life more sustainable and pleasant for all of Your beings.

It’s equally atrocious to see these discoveries are used to make bombs and tools of mass destruction. There is no excuse for killing when love, honor, caring, and respect are Your wishes and the only way to salvation.

(CNN) - OLYMPIC HIGHLIGHTS - Gabby Douglas takes gold - Gabby Douglas of the U.S. is the new Olympic women's all-around gymnastics champion! Douglas decided at age 12 she wanted to work with coach Liang Chow - She moved away from her family at age 14 to chase her Olympic dream. In the end, Gabby Douglas' massive gamble paid off. Like many young girls, she sat glued to the TV during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, mesmerized by the dazzling gymnasts flipping their way to glory. But instead of living vicariously through Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin as they won their gold medals, 12-year-old Douglas hatched a drastic plan to ensure that fairy tale became her reality: She must train with Johnson's coach, even if that meant leaving her family in Virginia.
